The Inca Collection of Alstromerias
'Inca Exotica'
The Inca Collection is a group of new cultivars of the hardy perennial Peruvian Lily or Alstroemeria, that has been produced by specialist Dutch breeder Könst Alstroemeria BV and is being launched at the end of August. The collection is highly recommended for both growing in the garden border or as container plants on the deck or patio. They all flower freely between late spring and early summer, reaching a height of 40–80cm (14-28in). The stems are also long enough for picking for cut flowers for the house.
Alstroemeria 'Konevotio' Inca Devotion - pink flowers of 6-7cm.
Alstroemeria 'Koexotica' Inca Exotica - yellow flowers of 5-6cm.
Alstroemeria 'Koglow' Inca Glow - dark red flowers of 4-5cm.
Alstroemeria 'Kolce' Inca Ice - cream-white flowers of 5-6cm.
Alstroemeria 'Konpulse' Inca Pulse - red flowers of 5-6cm.
The foregoing names are those under which the plants are currently being marketed. However, it is likely that these will be rationalised soon to comply with international standards of plant nomenclature.
